VW Golf VII: New spy shots!

Here are new spy shots of the VW Golf VII. Enjoy!

By using thinner-section but stronger steel in its construction the new Golf will be 45kg lighter, whilst the body gets longer and wider to conform to current safety regulations. All this gives the new model a larger, more aggressive look. Expect the overall design to be evolutionary though with sharper creases in the bodywork and slimmer headlights.

The reduced weight will help to improve emissions and economy, as will a host of new three and four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines – the highlight of which will be a 1.4 TFSI unit with cylinder deactivation technology.
